PURPOSE OF THE COURSE: Process Technology II - Systems is one of the core courses in the Process Technology Degree. The two-year program has been created to train students for careers as Process Technicians in the chemical and refining process industries. Process Technology II – Systems provides a study of the interrelation of process equipment and process systems including related scientific principles. Laboratory exercises include operating small plants representing the following unit operations: distillation, extraction, demineralization, reactors, and waste treatment. The laboratory is designed to emphasize hands-on training in plant operations. TEXTBOOKS AND LEARNING MATERIALS: Hicks, Gary. Process Technology II – Systems Data Book. Brazosport College, 2000. Safety Glasses with Side Shields GRADE DETERMINATION: Exams will be given to test for knowledge of safety, equipment, and plant operations. Lab practicals will be given in lab to evaluate a student's ability to operate plant and trouble shoot. A general evaluation will be made on student participation which will be based on the student’s participation in lab activities. Projects will be assigned to students throughout the semester. The course grade will be determined from the following: Project Assignments 0 - 30% Participation 0 - 20% Exams 30 - 50% Final Exam (Lab Practical) 10 - 30% Laboratory, Team Skills, and Self Initiative* 20 - 30% Total 100% Each instructor will announce the exact percentages to be used at the beginning of the course. *Laboratory exercises will be done in teams with each student being evaluated according to their self-initiative and team skills and competency. Projects assignments will be evaluated using the same criteria. Students will be required to score 100% on all laboratory exercises. EXPECTATIONS: 1. Class Attendance

Much of the learning occurs in the classroom setting and cannot be made up by reading the textbook. Therefore, class participation is essential to your learning and attendance will be taken.

2. Process Modules Students must complete all process modules in order to pass the course.

3

3. Class Participation

Your participation grade is based on the quality (not frequency) of your contribution. Those receiving high grades in class participation will be those who:

• Are prepared for class • Arrive to class on time • Have excellent attendance • Make comments and ask questions that significantly contribute to the learning

environment of the class • Are willing to volunteer for role plays, other in-class demonstrations, and exercises

WITHDRAWAL POLICY: If the student decides to drop out of the class it is the responsibility of the student to initiate a withdrawal before the withdrawal deadline in order to get a “W” on their transcript. If this is not done the student will receive a grade based on the test grades and class grades earned before he/she stopped coming to class.
